Pete's Day At The Races
Reviewed: 04/02/2017
Was This The Stinkiest Horse Scents I Have Ever Smelled?
Pete cannot stop scheming on Goofy as the plot du jour for this episode is: Pete tries to win money on what he thinks is a loser of a race horse first by overselling shares in the horse and then by trying with various tricks make the horse lose and the jockey is...Goofy, who finds the cure to make the horse super-fast. So; how does this fare? Let's rant on shall we...?!
This episode is written by Steve Sustarsic. The story was edited by Dean Stefan. The animation was provided by Walt Disney Animation Australia, PTY, Limited.
We begin this one at Pete's car lot AFTER HAPPY HOUR (after dark) as we head inside the office to see Pete and four guys in a smoke filled room as there is an ash tray with cigarettes in the ash tray clear as day. One of them looks dressed like Lucky from Bonkers. One of them sweats like he's at an Oscar convention as he puts a card on his hard. Pete tries to grab it; but it's pounded down by the guy. Apparently; the gambler's gimmick is that he chews out fingernails as a death threat. We discover that his name is Maggot as we continue this thrilling card game as there is Lenny (the red shirt/blue hat guy), Giant George (with no face; which means it's probably Lucky from Bonkers) and Sleepy Stu (green vest, red bowtie and living up to his nickname) as Pete shuffles the cards and wants to play a real game of poker as he wants to up the ante to a nickel. Lenny calls this blood poker and thinks there is some BS coming out of Pete. 4Kids would have changed the blood references to tears at this point as Pete elbows Sleepy Stu as he wakes up; calls a go fish and throws his cards down as he snores back to sleep. So we kill time for a while by just doing stuff like pulling a tie and sweating. So the scumbags all reveal their cards and Pete grabs the house on that one for the win on the full house. More shuffling cards and cutting decks make Gregory Weagle something something. We deal, they push, we play scummy music and do sweaty stuff for a while as Pete was winning on every deal and winning the house. Pete claims that everyone was falling into defeat, literally disappearing in a puff of smoke. Because; cartoon logic! So; it's between Maggot and Pete as Pete bets a 1971 Plymouth Nova with air conditioning and a six month warranty. Maggot shows his cards and it's three of a kind and tells Pete to read it and weep. Pete is sadden because he only have two pairs as Maggot rubs his hands with glee to take the house. However; Pete shows two pairs of fours; which is a four of a kind. Still beats the three of a kind anyway so Pete wins the house. Maggot of course is broken without any money; because he's as stupid as a Wuzzle who shops with no money in his pocket.
Maggot has a piece of paper in his pocket as Pete takes that and Pete monologues (so yes; Pete is channeling Max from Lethal Goofin' now. Take one guess who does this one better) that it's ownership papers for a thoroughbred race horse. Of course! Because someone was stupid enough to keep it in his pocket instead of a safe where it would do the most good. It's 100% Slippery Sammy as Maggot is pleading for mercy. Mercy? From Pete? Surely you jest, Maggot! Yeah; Pete took it as we head to Pete's house in the morning as Pete monologues that he could hardly wait to see Peg's smiling face when he told her the news. I betcha she screams Pete right out of the house and into the doghouse where he belongs. I check the DVD...Ah; close enough. Pete of course claims that the family dreamed about owning a race horse; and Peg does the Gruffi pose to prove that Pete's a lying gasbag. Pete of course dreamed it up and then opens the door and is bringing in Slippery Sammy out of nowhere. Oh swell; now even the main Australian studio is suffering from Kennedy Cartoons syndrome. Sammy has a rope tied to his neck and is holding yellow daisies. Pete parades the horse as Peg has no problem with him owning a horse, but refuses to let it stay in the house. I could easily say what is Chainsaw's excuse, then I realized that Chainsaw is much smaller than Sammy; so there you go. Pete is pleading (speaking of lack of mercy...) that it's only for a few weeks until he wins the big race, and then he can buy a ranch. I think he's already bought the farm on this one; considering the monologue. Sammy crashes off-screen into a lamp. Peg's CHEAP HEAT OF LAUGHS looks like someone just colored red on her face like a coloring book and then it disappears in about five to ten seconds. Pete is defending himself because Peg is reasonable in saying that the horse cannot stay in the damn house. Pete then calls for the kids claiming that he got them a pony despite being right there in front of the stairs. Pistol looks like she needs therapy and her eyes look all zanny, for no reason. And yes; the lamp is shown broken on-screen, why do you ask?
PJ and Pistol run over and hug the horse as Pete assures Pistol that they own the horse as Pistol is squeezing the horses ears; and acting so happy. So they show Peg turning her back to us and then turning around and she decides to let Sammy stay until the big race; but after that, she's out for good. So we head to Pete's house AFTER HAPPY HOUR as Pete monologues about how Sammy is blending in with the family. Then we get the best scene I have ever seen in this episode: Sammy is watching television while wearing a pink robe and having a milkshake with jelly sandwiches, chocolate bar and popcorn. Even better; Sammy eats better than I ever could! Apparently; the horse on television is flying an airplane and called Ted; while the man on television is claiming that horses don't fly airplane is Wilbert. Sammy is laughing his horse's ass off in response. Peg has the Gruffi pose on full blast as Pete comes in. Pete has an angel's halo on him during this, implying that he was responsible for this. Okay; this was hilarious. Pete claims that Sammy was good with the children as Sammy is sleeping right on top of PJ in the rocket bed in PJ's room. Oh; that's going to leave a mark! Sammy steals PJ's blanket and PJ is shivering right on cue. I don't know if it's the cold or he's scared of Sammy; but this leads to the rocket bed breaking and they look at each other. Pistol gets the CHEAP HEAT OF LAUGHS as she sees her bedroom getting ransacked and eaten by Sammy; while Sammy is wearing a hat. Pete of course is lying that Pistol absolutely loved this scene by the way. Sammy is munching on a green dressed doll as Pistol walks in pissed. Pistol grabs the head of the doll and calls Sammy the worst horse in the world and she hates him. Scene change to outside Pete's house as Pete is now claiming that Peg is warming up to Sammy. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah; like I'm buying that. Jump cut to Peg yelling at the door in a purple robe because Sammy has been in the shower for two hours straight. Wow; I wrote that before I actually saw Peg open the door. Peg is shocked and appalled as Sammy is wearing a shower cap to boot while scrubbing. Of course!
Sammy neighes and sounds like he's so offended that he takes the yellow Gedo washcloth and throws it right into Peg's face. Since it's a legit horse; this is fine under the man on woman violence rule. Peg grabs the cloth and can only call it a beast. Scene change to the dining room with Pete reading the newspaper and Peg drinking coffee and generally looking annoyed. Peg is now paranoid because it's too quiet and she's worried. Pete tells Peg to relax (calling her tater tot; UGH!) because it is all working out as he planned. Pistol and PJ are looking out the window as they see Sammy diving into a pool from a tree. I'm not pulling any legs here; even horse legs, that is what Sammy did. Pete claims that Sammy is part seahorse as Peg is flustered. Pistol and PJ see Sammy going higher and higher into the tree as Pete tells them to leave Sammy alone since he's not bothering anyone. That is a lie, Pete. I can name one person in the dining room now; who is bothered by this. Hint: She's the ruler of the household. Then we get an obvious logic break: Somehow Sammy was able to get onto the roof of the house and break through the ceiling and drop right down into the dining room and break the table. Oh great; now Sammy's trying to audition as a Dudley Boy. The dust clears and we jump cut to the front door as Pete is thrown out of the house by Peg. Pete wonders if this is his last chance as Peg simply tells him that he can come back when he loses the horse. Pete whines and complains since the weigh-in for the horse is tomorrow. Of course; the family voted against him and it was nothing personal according to Pistol. Yeah; sure. Pete gets up with the suitcase and blows them off as Peg tells him that he forgot something. Now; the spot is that Peg kicks the horse out and it squashes Pete. That was supposed to be the spot. However; the spot caused Pete to back away from the spot and then somehow Pete goes back and takes the bump from Sammy. Is this animation studio hiring Kennedy guys now?! Sammy is so happy to see Pete that Sammy licks Pete's face of course. Pete groans on cue and we head to the Spoonerville Horse Racing Track as we head inside the weigh-in office.
The weigh-in scale looks like a human scale as a catnose race official wearing shades and a green tie is reading a red card near his desk as Pete is doing the hard sell on how awesome Sammy is. Sammy yawns on cue; so I'm calling BS on that one. I discover that the box on the desk is a bunch of donuts since Sammy munched on all of them. The official is not impressed by this as I should note that he has the largest hands in the world as Pete wants to enter him in next week's race to collect big winnings. What a cocky, smugass bastard Pete is? John Enter would be proud of him. So Sammy gets on the scale and the scale gets so confused that it is completely broken. The disc part almost kills the official and flies around the office and crashes into the ceiling causing debris to fall down as the official crumbles up the paper and declares the horse is too fat to race. The official puts the pink slip pieces in the garbage as Pete protests this outrage. Pete is doing this with a banana yellow background. I cannot take anything you say seriously, Pete. That background sucks! The official thinks Sammy would make a perfect two ton paperweight as the official leaves and that ends the segment nine minutes in with Pete stammering like a stupid idiot. See; this is why you ask for cash when you win at poker! Just another stupid Pete scheme episode in a ton of them in this series.
After the commercial break; we head down the street on the sidewalk with Pete continuing to do his stupid monologue while Sammy is eating pies from the window sill. We walk towards the movie theater as Sammy looks at a movie poster of him with a medal around his neck as Pete monlogues that he needs a partner to help him get Sammy into shape to make weigh-in and win a race. Sammy sees himself and goes into the movie theater as Pete needs a stupid idiot to help him and if you cannot guess who he is, then you have no business reading this rant. Besides; it's AFTER HAPPY HOUR and out comes Sammy with a bucket of popcorn. Considering that this is Spoonerville and animals are allowed to vote; I would not be shocked if horses get in free and have unlimited popcorn on the house. Sammy sits down on the sill and offers Pete his popcorn. Awwww! My heart melted! So we scene change to Goofy's house (at nearly ten minutes in!) as Goofy is at the door with Pete and Sammy. We exchange notes on the situation. Pete does the hard sell on Goofy with Sammy as Sammy looks like he wants to kill Pete right now. So yes; Sammy is less of an asshole than Pete is. Ponder that for a moment. Goofy calls the half percent profit as fair; but he doesn't have a stable. Pete walks Sammy into the living room and claims that with a little imagination; this will be fixed in no time. Max won't like this; although why should he care since he's not supposed to be in this episode. Goofy claims that he's as giddy as a school girl. Bigot. Pete comes over and forcefully shakes Goofy's hands on the deal and that's that. Sammy hugs both idiots and they drop onto the ground like little kids. Sammy licks them while Pete monlogues that they need to get him into shape now. So we head to morning as Sammy is sleeping in the background in a purple hammock with a purple eyepatch around his eyes. The hammock is attached to a birdhouse and a tree, in case anyone cares. In comes Pete as he tosses Sammy out of the hammock and starts channeling a drill sargeant as we suck the gut and stick out the chest. Sammy's chest has rib cage syndrome. Pete wants the pony tail cut because the party's over, brah!
So no more fun as Sammy nods and we scene change to the backyard with Sammy pulling weights like a muscleman. And you thought 1-2 Switch contained animal cruelty? Methinks PETA's mission statement is becoming grossly misplaced. Pete puts the pin below the weights to make them heavier as Sammy pulls and this somehow causes him to fly into the air and if he kills Pete, will Peg actually care? Goofy grabs the trampoline and bails; as Sammy squashes Pete of course. Goofy drops the trampoline and shrugs his shoulders in confusion. Scene change back to the living room with Sammy rowing a boat with oars on wooden steps while Pete yells at him with the megaphone. The bales of hay have more interest in me than this. Goofy finishes Pete's promo in his usual funny fashion. Goofy and Sammy have a hug for fun afterwards as Pete is not impressed by this. So we head back to the Spoonerville Horse Racing Track as we head into the official's office. Pete monlogues that he dropped a bunch of weight and hoped it was enough. So Sammy gets onto the scale as the official checks his glasses. The scale is almost teasing to break again; so Pete slides Sammy's leg off the scale and the scale stops and Sammy is within the amount of weight required as the official writes down the seal of approval and gives it to Pete. Pete and Sammy cheer like they just won the Wrestlemania main event, before winning the Wrestlemania main event. So we head to the actual race track as we see Goofy and Pete at the starting chutes watching Sammy warm up on his hind legs. Pete and Goofy show no animation whatsoever; and then we jump cut to Pete with the stopwatch. Pete loses the stopwatch and has a pistol in his hands as Pete proclaims that Goofy might blink and miss it; causing Goofy to blink and ask "Is it over?". Ummm; no; you still have ten minutes left in this episode. Okay; he's a tip for Goof Troop characters: Never give Goofy a gun. Ever! You might die either from him unintentionally shooting you; or from laughter while Goofy does his promo on the starting line. Even Sammy's growling; so you know this is stupid.
Pete grabs the pistol (not Pistol though) and shoots it; and it shoot out a green flag. I club BS&P! Sammy runs like the wind...an easterly wind that lasts about five seconds; causing Sammy to completely blow up. Geez; that is cold, dood. Even the Ultimate Warrior took thirty seconds before he would blow up. Goofy's response is classic in the sense that I betcha anime dubbers for Dragon Ball Z saw it and thought: "GREAT IDEA~!" Not realizing that Goofy was not talking about someone dying or going to hell! Pete blows Goofy off and blames him for Sammy's lack of speed. Goofy doesn't recall being called a trainer as Pete declares him one; so Goofy accepts blame for that. Pete blows him off anyway as we head to Pete's car lot with more monologues telling us that the big race is days away as he tells us that he dropped a bundle on the horse and so he wasn't going to let it down. Man; the master tape of this episode is brutal in some places in this scene as we see Pete sobbing onto a peach colored car; and it's so bad, he's vandalizing the car with his fist as well. So the car crumbles as Sammy comes in and Pete suddenly has a Krackpotkin Plan as he offers to sell shares of his race horse with every lemon sold. So we see Pete showing a denizen in a red shirt being shown a red car with no tires on it; which the denizen points out. So Pete shows Sammy covered in fake awards and the denizens buys it hook, line and sinker. This is clearly going to backfire now, I can just see it. So the denizens give him money and they stretcher out cars for fun as Pete reveals his plan. If his horse continues to sell him cars; he gets a lot of money from it. However; that is only if the horse never wins a race. Once he starts winning races; then Pete owes them money and loses his business. Cut to the race track as Sammy is literally on a walker looking older than fifty year stale bread. Pete proclaims that he'll never win a race and that's no chance in hell! So we scene change back to Goofy's house as Pete monologues that Goofy is making a last ditch hopeless effort to thwart him; since Pete calls him the dreaded Goof. If you cannot guess the ending to this episode...you guessed it.
So Goofy is inside the living room with Sammy on the table on it's belly munching from a bowl while getting a back message. Goofy is wondering why he cannot run faster and checks the hooves to discover that one of them has the dreaded LITERAL HANG NAIL OF DEATH! Goofy goes to the toolbox and brings out a hammer while Sammy looks at the nail in his hoof. Goofy rides onto Sammy's and struggles to get the nail out. The nail is out and Sammy bounces into the air and breaks through the ceiling. Sadly; it was not made of glass; which would have really drove the point home, but BS&P RULEZ I guess. The ceiling debris scatters around as Goofy thinks he's moving faster already. Scene change back to the track with Goofy and Sammy and then we get the worst background mistake ever: When Goofy is doing his starting thing; the background they used is Goofy's living room from the previous scene, instead of the horse racing track background. You can smell the stinky assembly line animation from way up here and this is not Kennedy Cartoons making the error; it's one of Disney's in house studios. Sammy of course runs like a roadrunner around the track and crosses the finish line before Goofy can even start the stop watch. Uh-oh! Pete's Krackpotkin Plan has been cracked! Goofy claims that he started thirty seconds before he left; which would be impossible, even in a cartoon. It was literally three seconds, Goofy; it's okay! Goofy proclaims that Pete is so going to love this as Sammy is so happy to hear that. Boy; Goofy and Sammy are sure loving to screw Pete good in this scheme of his as we end the segment sixteen minutes in. And to think; if they had fixed the out of nowhere hangnail from the start; the episode would have ended happily; instead of Pete going to prison instead. Ooops; did I spoil the ending for everyone? Too bad!
After the commercial break; we head outside with PJ, Pistol and Peg walking out of their own house and noticing that Goofy has painted a white line on the street. Goofy has the stopwatch with the bucket of paint and paint brush on the ground. Why? So Sammy can hit the bucket and have the paint land on Pete, silly! Goofy checking the watch as Pete rides in with his black car and stops at the sidewalk. Pete comes out with his MONEY, MONEY, YEAH, YEAH. The family looks at him not amused at all. Pete shows the money and they turn their backs on him. Pete comes over to Goofy and cuts a promo about stopping and sniffing the money as Sammy runs in and crosses the finish line causing Pete and Goofy to whirlwind themselves. Somehow; no paint gets on Pete as Sammy turns around. Pete is so giddy about the horse as Goofy tells him that Pete owns the horse Sammy. Pete is confused as Sammy comes in and licks Pete in the face. Goofy explains how Sammy can run fast now and no Larson and Gary crap occured as Pete grabs Sammy by the snout and calls this fantastic, sensational and terrible all at the same time. So we head to the race track and see Pete practicing the fine art of not being seen as he goes to the stable where Sammy is and Sammy has a yellow backpack on it's ass; in which Pete dumps horseshoes into it. Because you see; Pete is trying to intentionally lose the race to protect his investment. Ironically; if he injected steroids into the horse, he could have the horse disqualified and none would be the wiser. He also puts cement into Goofy's boots; I don't know why, it sounds like overkill to me. Pete also chains Sammy's ponytail to an anchor and then he literally steals what appears to be an adult PJ in jockey gear which looks so silly that it would violate the FASHION POLICE OF LAW as Pete kidnaps him and he is forced onto Sammy; as Pete calls him a heavyweight contender. The jockey doesn't even care that he was just kidnapped; which I betcha is the reason Pete is going to prison after this race is over. So we jump cut to the PA announcer pole as the seventh race is about to start.
So running in the seventh race is El Bobbo, Shoeless Sailor, Carter's Complaint (I wonder if Carter Crocker was leaving DTVA at this point?), Purple Perdue (Cathryn's last name) and Slippery Sammy; who should be disqualified for excess hilitary before the race begins. I betcha the officials will ignore this anyway. The crowd cheers as Pete is in the crowd with PJ, Peg and Pistol. Wait; I thought they turned their back on Pete? That makes no sense. So the other denizens who bought the lemons earlier also arrive and are giddy about winning big ticket items like a boat and house as Pete is trying to calm them down because it's not weither you win or lose; it's how you bet on the game. This is coming from Pete Pete folks; the DTVA's scummiest scumbag! Pete of course turns around and he's scummy. Pete of course crosses his fingers behind his back after Peg talks to him about Sammy winning. Which is funny because if the horse is gone; then Peg will allow Pete back in, right? Then we see the adult PJ jockey at the barrier next to Pete eating like a pig. Pete demands answers to this outrage as the jockey tells him that a skinny guy is the jockey of Sammy now; because he wanted to surprise him. Uh-oh! Jump cut to the starting chute with Goofy dressed up in cheese colors riding on Sammy; who has lost all of his international objects. Pete runs over as Goofy proclaims that this is a special occasion and he got Sammy some special new gear causing Pete to get the CHEAP HEAT OF LAUGHS. Yip; Pete is screwed now. So the bugle call from the Kentucky Derby plays on the PA speakers and it's race time, BABEE! So; oddmakers, how many years will Pete get in prison for his actions in this episode? My money is on six months probation. Pete tries to cut everyone off; but they are off and they run over Pete in a cloud of dust. Surprisely; Slippery Sammy is in last finish with El Bobbo taking the lead. Geez; that special equipment is helping Pete, not hurting him. Well; not hurting him literally since he's already been run over once at the start of this race. Goofy waves to the hard camera while Sammy smiles as public domain music blares in the background.
So we do an anime background that implies that Pete was moved towards the front of the race; but in reality is still at the starting gate with hoof marks on his body and his right shoe is breaking apart. Peg is shocked and appalled; while everyone else cheers. Yes; Peg, the one who threw Pete out is the only one who gives one damn about Pete at this point. So El Bobbo is in first, Carter's Complaint, Shoeless Sailor and Purple Perdue in that order with Goofy in last place of course. Pete struggles to get up; but is relieved because Sammy's new gear is actually HELPING Pete. They turn the corner to the left as Slippery Sammy is still way, way back. Pete has returned to the barrier with the family and is cheering this on right in front of them. Everyone gives him eye contact violence and Pete stands down and boos. HAHA! So we continue through the backstretch as the ranking are unchanged and Pete is loving this. BUT WAIT~! Slippery Sammy is making the super horse comeback with Goofy bouncing wildly; a sign that he's underweight and should be DQ'ed from the competition. Pete might still get out of this alive...Peg is so loving this moment; but Pete isn't. Goofy then compacts himself as Slippery Sammy is moving past everyone and is closing in on El Bobbo; with Pete looking like he's about to have a heart attack. It's neck and neck now as Pete looks ready to chomp on his hands big time. Slippery Sammy takes the lead by teleport! Pete is panicking now and proclaims that he has to stop Sammy now as Pete jumps the barricade and tries to block Slippery Sammy. But as you know; it's Goofy + Sammy and a driving horse will always overrule a fat bastard like Pete anyday of the week. Goofy and Sammy run over Pete and cross the finish line first as Slippery Sammy wins the race by about seven lengths. I give Pete a year of prison now. Sammy launches Goofy off him after Goofy does the victory grab and he crashes into the ground and eats dirt. Jump cut to Pete on his back on the ground covers in hoof marks and Pete actually had enough time to tape an X on his chin. So we scene change to Goofy, Sammy, and the Pete Family minus Pete celebrating like they just won the Wrestlemania Main Event; but the crowd boos like Roman Reigns just won it. Actually; they are complaining about their winnings; because Pete cannot do mathmatics; most so doesn't know how percentages work. I see Pete comes from the Scott Steiner school of percentages. AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! One of the denizens is the inspector from For Pete's Sake by the way as Pete is practicing the fine art of not being seen and teleports a green coat and hat on in the process just like that. I shake my head in disbelief. Worse; it doesn't matter because Goofy spots him anyway and asks if he wants to join the celebration. Ooops!
Pete tells him that he'll be back to get some ice cream and he runs stage right out of the winner's circle as the denizens all run after him. So we do the some disorganized chase ever; I have no idea where Pete was at the time, other than Sammy finds him and jumps onto his back and catches him. HAHA! So Sammy doesn't only win the race; he even catch the fraudster to boot! This is the best horse ever and this is better than Horse Scents, just for that! Sammy licks Pete and Pete hates that as we finally head inside a jail cell with Pete on the bottom of the bunk bed proclaiming that this is how it ended. Pete's in prison gear with another prisoner on a wooden chair who was stupid enough to listen to him. He still sells it as the saddest story he ever heard. Geez; his cellmate is stupider than Goofy is. So the prison door opens and in comes a large policer officer in uniform with the hat over his eyes and they are selling this like Pete is facing the death penalty. Riiiiggggghhhhtttt... Pete walks to the end of the door and waves goodbye to his cellmate. So we head down the hallway as the officer proclaims that it's time for Pete to repay his debt to society; which gives it away that he's not going to die. So they push a button and I thought they were going down an elevator; but in reality it was to open the doors to the outside. Scene change to the officer grabbing a bucket and shovel and giving it to Pete. So; yes, he's on six months in prison on weekends as he's on clean-up detail and the officer orders Pete to get to work. So Pete goes towards the stables as we discover that he has to clean up the entire racetrack. Okay; this sounds reasonable to me. (Note from the future: Mike Russo of Toonzone noticed that the iTunes version uses a different shot. Instead of the racetrack; we get this: Instead of a background painting of the stadium, we get a shot of the stables, with a line of a couple dozen horses with their rear ends to the camera. This not only makes the shovel, bucket and Pete's final line make more sense, but it also matches up with the shots beforehand in terms of backgrounds. I'm thinking it always was supposed to end this way, but Disney got cold feet on ending an episode on a "horse poop" joke and changed it, but didn't alter the master elements of the episode. Okay; now I wonder if TaleSpin on iTunes suffered the same fate. Oh no, I'm not buying the iTunes version and going through them. I'm done with TaleSpin until 2020 or if they reboot the series. Okay?) Pete panics and then proclaims that he needs a bigger bucket as we circle fade out to end the episode at 21:11. Boy; did Disney Australia really stoop to Kennedy levels in this episode? That's what happens when you spread yourself out too thin. Anyhow; an okay scheme that ended with a fun horse race. Horse Scents this isn't and that is a good thing. *** 1/4 (65%).
THE REVIEW LINE
Wow; this might be one of the shortest reviews I have ever done and it's not like it was any different than any other Goof Troop episode I have seen. The scheme was fine and Pete got his comeupperance; so on that level it was finely written, but when 90% of your show is Pete scheming, it makes Pete look like the shallowest heel ever. There were a few logic breaks here and there; but the animation was fine if you discount all the stupid mistakes WD-Austraila made. Goofy was Goofy and Sammy was funny at least. I thought the finish was predictable due to the monologuing throughout this episode and the ending was fitting and correct, so no complaints otherwise. This was a short review and I cannot say anymore about this. So...
Thumbs in the middle for this episode and I'll see you all next time.
